Wanting to take advantage of the respite from the rain but not wanting to travel far, we popped over to
RSPB Old Moor on Sunday to see what was about.
I must admit I was expecting the place to be full of waders by now but aside from the Lapwings, there wasn't much wading going on. The bird garden was as busy as ever but quite dark as usual. I had the Sigma 50-500mm with me for once and got nice shots of a Shoveler and almost managed my first decent shot of a Teal.

Despite being frustrated by the distance between us and the birds, Debbie got some nice shots too with the 300mm lens which you can see
here and includes a shot of a Robin that puts mine to shame!
We also called in at Park Springs but the light was fading, still managed a couple of shots while almost lying down on the feeding platform!
